B-Mets win 6-3 in Game 1

Jayce Boyd hit a two-run two-out double to give the B-Mets the lead as part of a four-run fifth inning in a 6-3 win against the Akron RubberDucks in the first game of a doubleheader at NYSEG Stadium on Saturday.

Kyle Johnson went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored. Matt Clark, Kevin Lawley, and Wilfredo Tovar each drove in runs in the game. Lawley had a two-run single during the four-run fifth inning.

Rainy Lara (1-0) earned the win in his first Double-A start. He allowed three runs on eight hits and one walk in 5 1/3 innings. He gave up two of those runs on a two-run home run by Francisco Lindor on a high fly ball that carried out of the park on a day with winds upwards of 20 miles per hour.
